Blooms we have finally been waiting for!!!
The Red Maple is one of the first real sources of nectar and pollen in North Carolina that honey bees rely on. This is the bee's signal to get going and foraging traffic picks up.
The average bloom period in the Piedmont area for the Red Maple is 40 days (Feb 1 - Mar 12). I noticed some blooming earlier in February but today at 72 degrees, the Red Maple blooms are really popping.
This is from the Red Maple in our yard.
